AnnouncementBBC visits CELL

CELL's Director's Seminar was delighted to play host to Janice Hadlow, Controller of BBC2 and Martin Davidson, Commissioning Editor for History programmes for the BBC. Professor Amanda Vickery chaired a lively and fascinating discussion which saw many of our MA, MRes and PhD students get a chance to ask questions and air their views about the prominent place of history in our TV schedules.

AnnouncementAre you interested in the CELL MA/MRes?

CELL is now accepting applications for entry to the MA/MRes for the academic year 2011-12!

AnnouncementChristmas Cheer!

As tradition dictates, CELL celebrated the end of the semester and Christmas with a swell party.

Through the miracle of pot luck, the dinner table heaved with goodies, from a joint of roast beef to a host of chocolate cupcakes, via cheese muffins, tiramisu, and bread and butter pudding, all washed down with homebrew beer and sensibly-priced cava.

Many thanks to all our students and guests for making it such a special moment for us all!
